Reviews
Container Stay
5/5 Originally, we liked the novelty of staying in a container home; practically, we loved our stay and enjoyed it beyond what we expected. The proximity to local breweries and area attractions was fantastic. My husband and I, along with our kids (and the dog) loved the space, which was bright and clean.

Container Home
5/5 Great home. Roomy, clean, and well stocked. In the middle of a lot of outdoor activities. My only suggestion would be a step at the main door in back, and some lighting along the pathway.
Cute
5/5 It is a cute place in a goof location. My only complaint is the lawn mower Sunday morning. Something I didn't realize in the pictures is the toilets are not only next to the large windows but facing the road. The lawnmowers may have gotten an eye full that he wasn't expecting.

5/5 This was a great house with surprisingly large, open rooms. Our family had plenty of space and we loved the back patio area, with the large grassy area and creek access. It’s not fenced in but still great for the dogs, if you have dogs that will stay with you without a fence. The kitchen was very well stocked with nice cooking utensils, pots, pans, and mixing bowls. It’s a very unique house with sliding doors instead of windows, the doors let in a lot of natural light. We were visiting family in the area, and it’s a great place to stay for east access to Black Mountain, Asheville, and Boone. We loved it and will probably stay there again!

So much fun!
5/5 The house was awesome! We had more than enough amenities. This home was stocked with anything you might need. Whether it was toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish detergent, towels and blankets. Thank you for not being stingy with any of these things. We would love to return in the future.
